You can make a flag with a panda on it

Uh no...

Looks like they are commercially available. You really can get anything on Amazon!

HM
-Finish before 7:35am and spectators are likely to need to board the 5:00am bus to see you finish (or have other transportation).
-Arrival to Main Street.
-Arrive to Spaceship Earth after 9:00am and spectators can see you finish from inside EPCOT with a ticket.

This is FANTASTIC information. I had not considered Epcot may actually be open by the time I finish! It gives me a reason to be happy I am slower than I want to be.

I’m not exactly tall so I’m not a good person to spot for a pre race meet

I’m fairly tall and will be doing Dopey. I’m happy to meet up with folks before the races.

But you had so much fun with us in November.

That’s cause there was no panda talk.

 

[AFwifelife]

Uh no...

Maybe a banana flag then. It would be quite the meet up with the people from here and other who are looking for a free banana.

Just Scottie Rants!

Just Scottie Rants!

He truly is the life of the party!

I think we should go for a eucalyptus tree flag. That might be enough to entice @rteetz in without being too overtly panda...

That’s a lie and you know it.

 

[rteetz]

That’s a lie and you know it.

Why are we friends again?

 

[Keels]

Why are we friends again?

You’re like the fifth person to ask me that this week and the answer is the same - because I’m awesome.

Yeah okay...

 

[tidefan]

Hey, I am only coming in for the marathon, but I would like to meet some of y'all. Unfortunately, since I teach, I have to be back to The University by noon on Monday, so I will miss DATW

We buried my father-in-law today after a long battle with colon cancer and the last week at the hospice house. Our nutrition and training has been you-know-what the past few weeks. Right now my Dopey goal has changed from "Crushing It" to "Surviving It". I don't doubt that I will finish because I'm entirely too hard-headed and I've done the marathon before so I know what to expect. It's just that Dopey is becoming more intimidating the closer we get. Normal, right??

I guess I just needed to share my doubts somewhere in a group of people that may understand!!

 

[ZellyB]

@lahobbs4 I'm so sorry for your loss.

And Dopey doubts (or all race doubts for that matter) at this point in the training are completely normal. Just wait until we all start to taper!!

Once the event guide is out with maps we can just pick a spot & I think @DopeyBadger held a sign made from the cheer ones at the expo if you want to do that. I'm terrible at pre-race meet ups finding them.
